Artist's rendition from ABC News
In several hours the probe Deep Impact will crash into the comet Tempel 1 to hopefully gain insights into the beginnings of the solar system, by blasting out material estimated to be 4.6 billion years old! Fascinating stuff.
Take a visit to NASA's Deep Impact website for more information, pictures and a live web broadcast.
[Update: it appears it hit its target! The webcast showed people from NASA jumping up and down! ;-)]
